@u-devtools/vite


Vite plugin for Universal DevTools Kit. Automatically injects DevTools into your Vite application.

Installation

``bash
npm install -D @u-devtools/vite @u-devtools/client @u-devtools/overlay


or

pnpm add -D @u-devtools/vite @u-devtools/client @u-devtools/overlay

or

yarn add -D @u-devtools/vite @u-devtools/client @u-devtools/overlay
`

Usage

Add the plugin to your vite.config.ts:

`ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { createDevTools } from '@u-devtools/vite';
import { myPlugin } from './plugins/my-plugin';
import path from 'node:path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';

const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
createDevTools({
base: '/__devtools', // Optional, default: '/__devtools'
plugins: [
myPlugin(),
// ... other plugins
],
}),
],
server: {
// IMPORTANT: File system access configuration
// Vite requires explicit permission to access files outside the project root.
// DevTools plugins (like i18n) need to read/write files in your project,
// so we need to grant access to the project directory.
fs: {
allow: [__dirname],
},
// Optional: Enable polling for file watching (useful in some environments)
watch: {
usePolling: true,
},
},
});
`

Important: If you're using plugins that interact with the file system (like the i18n plugin), you must configure server.fs.allow to grant Vite permission to access your project files. This is required because Vite restricts file system access by default for security reasons.

Options

- base?: string - Base path for DevTools UI (default: '/__devtools')
- plugins?: DevToolsPlugin[] - Array of plugins to load
- enabled?: boolean - Enable or disable DevTools (default: true`)
